The JICA tour on October 6, 2018

The tour was very gorgeous for guests because 8 TENGU members guided 2 guests. Ms. Moshi Esther Epaphra(nickname Esther) from Tanzania and Mr. Banjong Prawit(nickname Pae) from Thailand are the guests.                             We 8 members explained many sightseeing spots by turns. Guests were interested in our guiding talk and asked many questions. Through answering questions, we talked much, and enjoyed conversations.

After lunch, Chiko, a member of TENGU held a training session for ORIGAMI, traditional Japanese art of paper folding. Under Chiko's guidance, we folded paper cranes. Esther and Pae acquired the skills perfectly and completed beautiful paper cranes.

After ORIGAMI, we sang a Japanese song. It was "HAKODATE NO HITO" which is one of hit songs of KITAJIMA SABURO who is the most popular ENKA singer. Nao, tour leader of TENGU prepared words and musical score of the song, so all of us sang the song together.ORIGAMI and ENKA would be a memorable experience for the guests.                                                                                One week before the tour, the 24th typhoon of this year hit the Japanese Archipelago.The maximum wind speed was 45.6m/s in Hachioji City. A lot of trees in Mt. TAKAO were broken branches and several trees were blown down. It was quite rare scenery.
